Qantas Frequent Flyers can now book Classic Flight Reward seats to more than 20 destinations across Thailand and South East Asia as a new partnership with Bangkok Airways launches today.
Bangkok Airways joins Qantas Frequent Flyer's more than 45 existing partner airlines, which allow members to use their points to travel to more than 1,200 destinations around the world.
Travellers can access Bangkok Airways flights from Australia via Bangkok, Phuket and Singapore. The Qantas Group operates more than 50 return flights each week between these cities and Australia.
Bangkok Airways is a full-service carrier, with regular flights each day out of its hub in Bangkok to some of Asia's most popular destinations, including Koh Samui and Chiang Mai in Thailand and Siem Reap in Cambodia.
The partnership expands on a codeshare agreement that was introduced in 2014 allowing Qantas customers to book commercial seats on Bangkok Airways flights.
Qantas Loyalty CEO Olivia Wirth said Qantas Frequent Flyer was excited to welcome Bangkok Airways to the program.
"We want our members to be able to use their Qantas Points on reward seats to as many destinations as possible and our portfolio of partner airlines means they can choose from hundreds of locations across the globe.
"Thailand is one of the most popular destinations for our frequent flyers and this partnership will make it easier for them to explore more of the region using their points.
"The option to book reward seats on Bangkok Airways' expansive network across Thailand and South East Asia will also open up thousands of new redemption opportunities.
"Reward seats continue to be great value and there are millions available for booking now across domestic and international routes for the next year on Qantas, Jetstar and our partner airlines."
The Bangkok Airways partnership follows recent initiatives from Qantas Frequent Flyer to expand members' opportunities to use their points on flights including 100,000 Classic Flight Reward seats between Australia and Japan, and the extension of our commitment for 50 per cent more reward seats until June 2023.
Qantas Frequent Flyers can also use their points on hotel stays across Thailand through Qantas Hotels.
